Jesus Christ is both the ____ and the ____ to righteousness and eternal life.

• A. gate; way
• B. door; key
• C. path; road
• D. gate; door

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is that Jesus is both the entry point and the path to righteousness and eternal life. In John 10:9, Jesus says, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved,” showing Him as the access point into salvation. In John 14:6, He declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life,” which presents Him as the path that leads to the Father and to eternal life. Putting those together, Jesus is the gate that opens the way into righteousness and life, and the way you walk in that righteousness once you’ve entered. The other options don’t fit as precisely with the biblical images Jesus uses for salvation and the ongoing life of faith.
